this seems like a plausible outcome, and if true could spell disaster for OpenAI models relative to the competition and open source models. Currently, reliability is one of the core obstacles preventing widespread adoption of LLMs in many business critical workflows. And if these rumors, that GPT-4 is inherently un-deterministic and unreliable, are true then most enterprises are better off finetuning open source LLMs—which are just as capable—for their specific domains. they stand to gain better performance that way anyways, as domain-specific models will always outperform generalist ones
